Electrification of transport as growth platform

By entering manufacturing contracts with Think, Fisker Automotive, and Garia in 2008, Valmet Automotive took a leap of faith trusting that EVs will be the future of transport. Over ten years this development has established a recognized competence center. This will now drive Valmet Automotive’s electric vehicle ambitions through an increased focus on EV systems.
